Rainbow Recovery

Episode 25 brings us to the season finale of Recovery Corner and the transition of our host, Candice Rose, towards another growth opportunity. We wish Candice the best on her new journey and go on summer break to reinvent the Recovery Corner experience moving forward. We close out Season 2, with Amanda Lambert and Kathryn Sherman, co-facilitators of Rainbow Recovery, our monthly LGBTQ+ recovery meeting which takes place on the last Monday of each month. Both members of the LGBTQ+ community, they find purpose in creating this inclusive space for people in recovery who can freely express their gender and sexual identity in this meeting. In this podcast, we discuss the barriers and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community in recovery and how substances can create a false sense of intimacy and connection in all communities, but especially in one that has been historically marginalized. Tune in to understand why creating more safe spaces for the LGTQ+ community in recovery is so important.
